Health:

 

I got really sick on my birthday! I had a fever, really bad headache and my entire body was in pain. I had to miss two days of school and I'm still pretty sick right now. I've been taking some medication and my host mom says I should be back to normal soon, so I'm not too worried about it. 

 

School: 

 

School is very easy now, I can do my work

 
without my friends having to explain it to me, and I can understand all of the lectures. After this week of school I will have a two week break. I am going to go shopping with my friends and there are activities in the city for teenagers to do during the second week. So I am going to play soccer, go ice skating, and go to the movies. 

 

Attendance at Rotary Functions:

 

I went to two Rotary functions this month. The first was a Christmas Party. It was a five course meal and at the end of the meal we did a secret santa so it was a lot of fun. The second function was going to see a play. Every year a girl from my city does a play and this year my Rotary host club sponsored her, so the play was also for the public. Afterwards there were desserts and beverages so we could meet the actors, it was really cool.

 

Activities Outside of Rotary:

 

I went to my friend's 17th birthday party, and it was a lot of fun. We stayed up all night dancing and doing karaoke. She also bought a lot of food for it, too much! Her kitchen table was completely full! I also started going to country dance lessons with my host mom, it's a blast! 

 

Other:

 

I changed host families at the beginning of the month and I'm really loving my new family. I play a lot with the two little boys, its very weird for me to be the oldest for once but I like it.
